Outline:
RNAscope™ Technology is a cutting-edge in situ hybridization (ISH) technology based on Advanced Cell Diagnostics (ACD) unique, patented probe design strategy that enables simultaneous signal amplification and background noise suppression. RNAscope Technology represents one of the most significant advances in ISH technology in over 40 years.
Who should attend:
Principle Scientists, Group Leaders, Head of Biology/Research, Pharmacologists and Pathologists who:
• Need to understand cell-specific expression information
• Want to directly visualize RNA targets in the full context of tissue architecture and/or measure regional RNA distribution
• Want to study intra-tumoral heterogeneity
• Need to select and validate targets for drug development
Learning Objectives:
- How RNAscope delivers quantitative molecular detection and morphological context in a single assay
- Ease of using the highly sensitive and specific assay for virtually any gene in any tissue
- Advantages of RNAscope Technology vs. other ISH and IHC methods
- How RNAscope can be used for rapid target validation and translational research
